Hello to all,

Any shops to find militaria in Crete ?

Thanks

In 1976 I found an antique store in Heraklion with a small assortment of German and British relics.

 

I had to go there 3 times before I hit a time they were open.

About 17 years ago, I lucked on a used pair of U.S. 1944 dated wire cutters for €20 in an oddity shop in Agios Nikoloas.

We have Createn friends who have lived there all their lives, as did their parents and so on, George told me that there are tons of relics (British and German) still hidden in the caves in the mountains and he used to play with items he found with his friends. Apparently the lake in the centre of Agios Nikoloas is full of dumped German vehicles and equipment, he told me that his grandfather saw the British soldiers doing this, this little lake is supposed to be really, really deep.

 

Other than that I don't know of any militaria shops, I couldn't find any when I went to Suda bay and the surrounding areas.
